Steady, sturdy, silent

I had my Precor EFX 5.23 for 3 months and it is all of the above! Honestly, I don't feel any difference from the commercial model i used at the gym. My biggest worry was that it would be rickety and it is absolutely not. It's not subjected to very hard use (single user, < 40 hours so far) but it feels as if it could easily tolerate harder use, and expect it will be quite durable. Installation by the people Precor contracted with was fast and simple to arrange. It makes me happy every day!

Excellent Elliptical

After conducting a pretty exhaustive search of the best ellipticals on the Internet, from review forums, and company site comparisons, I decided to purchase the EFX 5.23. My product arrived in perfect condition, and the assembly instructions were straight forward and easy to understand. I had the unit assembled in about 45 minutes. The quality of the unit is remarkable. Even on a carpeted surface, the EFX 5.23 remains completely stable. I have been extremely impressed with my workout experience in the first few times using this unit. It is wisper quiet, the console is easy to understand and operate, and the heart rate sensors actually work (unlike my previous unit). I highly recommend Precor's elliptical crosstrainers to anyone in the market for quality exercise equipment.

Quality Machine

I like that Precor skipped the bells and whistles in order to focus on quality with this one.

I have owned the machine for about 2 months now. It originally was rocking a bit during use since I had it on a carpeted floor. I went out and had Lowe's cut a piece of plywood (blondewood because it looks nice) to 30x75 inches and put that under the machine. This has helped tremendously. It still moves a very tiny bit, but it doesn't interfere with the ride at all.

Bad Electronics

I like the machine but it was hard to start after 2 years. It would light up then shut off, you had to turn it on and shut it off quite a few times before it would stay on. Now it just doesn't turn on. Needs a new mother board.

This is a spectacular machine

I tried several "ellipticals" and found the Precor to be superior. The other machines all had linkage arms to simulate the elliptical action. This in no way emulated the smoothness of the Precor wheels sliding up and down the ramp. This model Precor is as smooth as the professional model I previously used at our local gym. Additionally, this machine is much more quiet than competing machines. I highly recommend this machine

Great workout, durable, and maintenance free!

We purchased our EFX 5.23 in 2002 and have used it regularly. It's easy to operate, has a wide range of workout programs, and has NEVER had a maintenance issue. Love the heart monitor function. It's very heavy and awkward to move, but that also makes it very stable when in use.

Awesome Elliptical

We have had our Precor elliptical for about a month and it has been a great piece of equipment. It is unbelievably quiet. we love it and would highly reccomend it. Of all the eliptical's we looked at this was by far the quietest.

Great elliptical machine

There is nothing like Precor...you can tell the difference and the workouts are very challenging. Highly recommend this machine, service was exceptional. They come set it up for you and are very professional.
